What the President does, and does deftly and firmly, is to ac- knowledge and accept the Imperial Government’s formal eurrender to thie Government’s demands and at the same time to wrap up and retura the reservation or condition or whatever it was that the Tmpe- rial Government unwisely inclosed.

It becomes more and more plain that however strong the de facto Government of Mexico may be, it is not etrong enough to prevent bandits, looters, Villistes, revolted Carranza eoldiers or any other kind of outlaws from pushing over the border and killing United States eoldiere and citizens. Obviously there is but one way for the United States Govern- ment to deal with this sort of thing and that fe not by trying to get from Carranss protection that he is powerless to furnish.

Thomas F. Freel of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been carefully framed to put the least pos- sible burden upon owners. No particular kind of shoe or anti-tlipping device is required. The only demand is that “an animal shall be shod in such a manner as will prevent, or tend to prevent, slipping.” As Gupt. Freel says: “The ordinance permits an owner to use his judgment as to what character of device he shal! use, and permits him a wide range of choice from pads, slippers, caulks, rough-shoe- ing, sharpening and chains, to any kind of emergency device— frost nails, overshoes, etc—that will do the work.” There are 110,000 work horses in the city. The owners of nearly 80,000 of these have heartily indorsed the ordinance. All the largest coal, milk, dry goods, contracting, brewing and express concerns are supporting it. Here ie a practical, humane measure aimed not only to spare horses, but to leesen the innumerable traffic holdups caused on winter days by horses either fallen or straining in vain at heavy loads on icy pavements where they can find no footing. It is simple and eensible. It is merciful to the horee. to the owner. The city needs euch an ordinance. should pase it unanimously.
